The Republican Party Analysis

To America, the American dream was not living in a huge, fancy house, but to have a “house, a yard, maybe a TV and a car too – nothing fancy, no palaces like the gringos built – just four walls and a roof” (Boyle 29). The typical immigrant does not come to American with the intentions of becoming wealthy. They come to American to have a better opportunity in life. To be able to own a home, work and have a family. According to The New York Times, “The phrase “American dream” was invented during the Great Depression. It comes from a popular 1931 book by the historian James Truslow Adama, who defines it as, “that dream of a land in while life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone.” “In the decades that followed, the dream became a reality. Thanks to rapid, widely shared economic growth, nearly all children grew up to achieve the most basic definition of a better life — earning more money and enjoying higher living standards than their parents had.” Learning that us Americans are likely to achieve the American dream shows that it is all that much more difficult for immigrants and even more so for illegal immigrants. T.C Boyle, in Tortilla Curtain, attempts to show the separation between the American dream of the community of immigrants and the American dream of the whites.

Simply put, America is the land of opportunity. In the past, immigrants have left most of their family, memories, and familiarities with their homeland in search of a better life in America, where jobs were easy to find and the economy was booming. These immigrants formed almost the entire American population, a demographic anomaly in which people from nationalities separated by land and sea; these people come from countries separated by expansive distances can live within the same neighborhood. Both Anna Quindlen with her essay “A Quilt of a Country” and John F. Kennedy with his essay “The Immigrant Contribution” have documented the story of these immigrants and

The Liberal Party's membership of Canada is committed to the fundamentals that have developed and sustained the Liberal Party from any other political party; individual freedom, responsibility and human dignity in the framework of a just society; political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all interested persons, and the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides the framework for both a democratic society and for the interaction of members within the party. It is also devoted to equal opportunity for every person, to the enhancement of our unique and diverse cultural community, to the recognition that English and French are the official languages of Canada, and to the preservation of the Canadian identity

Immigration makes up of the United States. The life of an immigrant faces many struggles. Coming to the United States is a very difficult time for immigrant, especially when English is not their first language. In Oscar Handlin’s essay, Uprooted and Trapped: The One-Way Route to Modernity and Mark Wyman’s Coming and Going: Round Trip to America, both these essays describes the life of immigrants living in America and how they are able to make a decent amount of money to support their families. Handlin’s essay Uprooted and Trapped: The One - Way Route to Modernity explains how unskilled immigrants came to adapt to the American life working in factories to make a living. In the essay, Coming and Going: Round Trip to America, this essay describes the reality of many immigrants migrating to the United States in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. Many were living and adjusting to being transnational families. Both these essays show how the influx of immigration and industrialization contributed to the making of the United States. With the support from documents 3 and 7, Thomas O’ Donnell, Immigrant Thomas O’Donnell Laments the Worker’s Plight, 1883 and A Slovenian Boy Remembers Tales of the Golden Country, 1909, these documents will explain the life of an immigrant worker in the United States. Although, the United States was portrayed as the country for a better life and a new beginning, in reality, the United

Gish Gen and Barbara Ehrenreich’s works outline the struggles and challenges that the Americans undergo today in their pursuit of the American dream. Gen points to a Chinese family that is weaved between maintaining ties with their traditional Chinese way of life and culture, and adopting the American dream (Gen 107). Through this rather humorous and attention catching treatise, Gen confirms the struggles the American immigrant population face in order to streamline their thought, actions and philosophy with what the American dream represents. A majority of immigrants survives on low wages and struggles to put food on the

Today’s economy is an issue concerning immigrants and their desire to live the American dreams. The article was written in the 1900s, a time when America became industrialized and immigrants were at a soared which shows how capitalism had created pressure which undermined the traditions of family lives, cultural ties and immigrants’ moral valves that they have brought with them to the United States.

The Republican Party wasn’t made up of just one group of people, in a way it was a melting pot. It was made up of antislavery Democrats, northern Whigs, Free Soilers, and Know-Nothings; all were opposed to the further expansion of slavery. The platform of the Republicans was the idea of free labor which offered each person a chance to move up to the status of a land owning farmer. This was the exact opposite of slavery in which there was no chance to ever be anything but a slave. Republicans are not to be confused with abolitionists whose goal was to emancipate slaves; the Republican goal was to prevent the spread of slavery. One of the main events that led to the creation of the Republican Party was the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Missouri Compromise

I connect the most with the New Democratic Party of Canada because they have similar beliefs as me. The NDP believe in the betterment of humanity and put people in before money and items whilst keeping balance in society. The same values are important to me as well. To me financing and budgeting are not as important as the safety and opinions of the society. Fairness and equality are important things that both the NDP and I support.

I found an interesting article from just prior to the election on MSNBC that gave scenarios which so many Americans believed possible about the future of leadership in both parties. Had the Republicans lost their strong hold that they now possess the leadership of the Republican Party would have acknowledge that they played a key part in losing the election and the house, “he (Trump) would expect party officials and GOP leaders to pay the price for his failure”. The lack of unity and the failure of the Republican leadership during the campaign showed how torn they are as a party with the current political situation. We as citizens have much more impact on our local government than on the national politics of our country. If we want to create

The adoption of rules is subject to change every election cycle and is determined by the Republican National Convention prior to the convention date. An example of this is Rule 40b of the RNC which was in effect in 2012, but has not been adopted for the 2016 convention in Cleveland. Under this rule, a candidate must have the support of a majority of the delegates of at least eight states in order to get the nomination. Rule 40e then states that if no candidate has received the majority of votes, "the chairman of the convention shall direct the roll of the states be called again and shall repeat the calling of the roll until a candidate shall have received a majority of the votes."

After having fully watched the three hour long GOP Debates I have formed several opinions of my own regarding what was said by the candidates. Firstly I would just like to say that I started watching with the notion that Donald Trump was the worst political candidate, which I still believe is true. However I would prefer him in a very narrow margin above Carly Fiorina. Because she could very well, if elected as president could in one move, restart the Cold War. Anyone who underwent US history or lived through it wouldn't want a terrifying period like that to start again. This brings me to who did the best, someone I hadn't heard of before was, John Kasich. Since not only did he mention talking to Russia instead of threatening them, but

The people who immigrated to America in the 1800’s and 1900’s came because “In the United States, individuals craft their own definition of success” (Friedman). Immigrants were given the opportunity to succeed, something they probably never had back home. Here immigrants were given free education, welfare, and healthcare, freedoms only given in America at the time. This freedom to succeed has given many people rags- to- riches stories. “Americans respect the self- made man or women, especially when he or she has overcome great obstacles to succeed” (Friedman), especially because immigrants who came from nothing were able to utilize their freedoms in order to make something for themselves.

There are a variety of reasons that account for female respondents being more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate in the 2016 Presidential Election. This is because that in general, the Democratic Party tends to champion the rights of minorities, such as blacks, Hispanics, members of the LGBT community and women, endorsing passing progressive action that will benefit them. On the other hand, the Republican Party tends to promote maintaining traditional policies that sometimes marginalize minority groups (such as women) in the United States. A prime and relevant example of the differing viewpoints of both political parties is the issue of women’s rights over their own bodies, as Planned Parenthood is defended by Democrats and attacked

In the United States of America there is a plethora of extravagant political parties with which one can associate. Obviously, due to the nature of the scholarship at hand, the reader of this written work is a Republican. Is there any thought ever given to the immensity of the political spectrum? There is left and right, up and down, libertarians, authoritarians, liberals, conservatives, socialists, communists, neo-libertarians, paleoconservatives, fascists, or one could be completely neutral. Still, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, in the United States of America, one is always drawn to one side, left or right, while little attention is ever given to the north or south poles of the spectrum. Association with a political party is something

The election and how government officials are elected is vital to the United States’ identity as a Democratic Republic. To fully understand whether the election is fair to the average American citizen, these four things need to be looked at and understood; the Democratic and Republican platforms and who the reader agrees with, the procedure and requirements for getting on the ballot to be elected into the House of Representatives, the many different parties of the United States, and the requirements and procedures for running for president. After each of these questions are acknowledged, it can be easily inferred that the current election system that is in place, is fair to American citizens.
